Compensatory upregulation of the adenosine system following phenylephrine-induced hypertrophy in cultured rat ventricular myocytes.
Adenosine has been shown to exert direct antihypertrophic effects on the heart, and plasma adenosine levels have been shown to be elevated in patients with heart failure. It has therefore been proposed that endogenously synthesized adenosine may function as a cardiac antihypertrophic factor. The present study was aimed to determine whether the adenosine system is altered in a potential adaptive...
متن کاملRole of oxidative stress in the aortic constriction-induced ventricular hypertrophy in rat
Introduction:Severe abdominal aortic constriction above the renal arteries induces arterial hypertension above the stenotic site that is the cause of cardiac hypertrophy. Previous studies have shown that high blood pressure induces myocardial oxidative stress with conflicting results. In the present study, we assessed the effects of acute hypertension on the myocardial oxidative stress an...
متن کاملMechanical load-dependent regulation of gene expression in monocrotaline-induced right ventricular hypertrophy in the rat.
Rats treated with monocrotaline (MCT) develop pulmonary hypertension. Their right ventricles (RVs) exhibit severe pressure overload-induced hypertrophy, whereas the left ventricles (LVs) are normally loaded. In contrast, enhanced neuroendocrine stimulation during the transition to heart failure affects both ventricles. We assessed gene expression levels of Ca2+-regulating proteins in RVs and LV...
متن کاملCorrection: MEF2C Silencing Attenuates Load-Induced Left Ventricular Hypertrophy by Modulating mTOR/S6K Pathway in Mice
BACKGROUND The activation of the members of the myocyte enhancer factor-2 family (MEF2A, B, C and D) of transcription factors promotes cardiac hypertrophy and failure. However, the role of its individual components in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy remains unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we investigated whether MEF2C plays a role in mediating the left ventricul...
متن کاملCompensatory renal hypertrophy following uninephrectomy is calcineurin-independent
Calcineurin is a calcium-dependent phosphatase that is involved in many cellular processes including hypertrophy. Inhibition or genetic loss of calcineurin blocks pathological cardiac hypertrophy and diabetic renal hypertrophy. However, calcineurin does not appear to be involved in physiological cardiac hypertrophy induced by exercise. The role of calcineurin in a compensatory, non-pathological...
